The Uncredibles

Reviews are starting to come in for 'Look Where We Live!' and they're good! I specially liked Kirkus. You can see it here: http://tinyurl.com/ncruylkAnd the CBC has chosen 'Look Where We Live!' as one of their 15 'kids' books to watch out for' in 2015. http://tinyurl.com/nexktn9

Another book I've just finished is called 'P'ésk'a and The First Salmon Ceremony'. It's out in the fall. The original name was 'Qwuni and The First Salmon Ceremony' but I found out that Qwuni is the wrong dialect for where my story takes place so it had to be changed. It turned out to be a good thing because P'ésk'a means hummingbird. It's a perfect name for the little boy as he runs through the village, poking his nose into everything. I'm really grateful to the Chief of the Sto'lo nation who was kind enough to give his approval to the book - it means a lot to me.

So that's the latest news - of course there are the usual possible, probable or potential projects that may (or may not) come through - all part of the ever exciting life of a freelancer!
